ICF's - Insulated Concrete Forms
Amvic Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF)
Amvic ICF is an excellent alternative to conventionally built foundations providing homeowners with a sustainable, resilient and cost-effective foundation insulation. The near ideal curing conditions inside the ICF blocks along with internal concrete vibration makes for a stronger concrete wall through better consolidation.

The dual EPS insulation panels act as continuous insulation, creating a warmer and more comfortable space. Interior finishes can be easily attached directly to the ICF wall by utilizing the embedded web flanges as attachment surfaces.

Foundations and Basements:

High Density (HD) Foam Insulation
Below Slab

HD foam solutions like SilveRboard and HD Envirosheet are lightweight, cost-effective solutions for rigid insulation for conventional below grade construction. The high compressive strength and moisture resistance makes for a durable and easy to work with product. It can be used on the exterior of your foundation walls and concrete slabs to provide continuous insulation thereby reducing heat flow and improving energy efficiency.
Outside Foundation Wall
For renovation and retrofits, the boards can be used on the interior of foundation walls to decouple wood framing from the concrete and provide additional insulation or horizontally above the concrete slab along with wood furring to create an insulated subfloor.
Amdrain

Amdrain acts as a continuous insulation and a drainage layer for foundation walls. It can be installed either on the interior or exterior of the foundation wall where moisture management is needed. The built-in drainage channels function as a capillary break, relieving hydrostatic pressure and allowing moisture to be directed to the foundation drain. This is especially useful for highly impermeable soils which are heavy on clay where saturated soil does not allow easy drainage.

Amdrain can act as either the primary or secondary capillary break depending if a drainage membrane is present or not. Each insulation panel has a tongue and groove vertical joint creating a tight connection and eliminating the need for taping.
What are ICF's?

Insulating concrete forms, or ICFs, are forms used to hold fresh concrete that remain in place permanently to provide insulation for the structure they enclose.

    • fast, easy construction
    • flexibility
    • light weight for easy shipping and erection
    • ability to meet higher energy code mandates with less complicated construction
Walls

Above Grade Wall Insulation

Continuous wall insulation solutions for increased energy efficiency and comfort
Amvic Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF)
Amvic ICF construction offers high energy efficiency, strong and durable walls for your home, creating quiet and comfortable indoor spaces. The reinforced concrete core creates a highly resilient wall assembly, able to withstand both natural and manmade disasters.

Additionally, the added wall thickness creates design opportunities for window nooks, seats or storage. Floor systems are easy installed with various ledger connectors such as Simpson Strong-Tie ICFVL. Interior finishes and exterior cladding is easily attached to the embedded web flanges.
SilveRboard Graphite XS
ilveRboard Graphite XS is a cost-effective, rigid insulation board that acts as continuous insulation, reducing thermal bridging and improving energy efficiency. Due to its ultra-low density and flexural strength, it provides great design and installation flexibility for curved and radius walls.

It can be installed either above grade as continuous insulation or on the interior of your foundation wall requiring a dedicated air and vapor membrane. Pricing and ease of installation gives installers a competitive advantage while delivering a superior final product.
